This isn't a generally viewable location as it requires an invitation to access. We need a freely accessible and generally available location as a reference as anyone should by able to see and join, the community discussion.

I updated the post, Reddit post provided
Whoops...
Hmm, it was probably deleted because how new my Reddit account is. Couldn't find any proper way to reach the Erlang community.
🤔 this doesn't appear to be getting much community support in either direction.
I think it might be an idea to put your proposal out on one of the publicly accessible mailing lists listed in the Community section of https://www.erlang.org/community
I'm happy to accept this change if there is a community-based publicly accessible location people can express their support or objections about the change that is not in this repo. This is to prevent a repeat of what happened with the rust colour change in https://github.com/github/linguist/pull/4319
I've also just noticed that the current colour seems to match that from the cover of the O'Reilly books.
Closing this as there's been no progress on establishing a discussion within formal Erlang community channels. Feel free to open a new PR once this has been done and concensus has been agreed.
